Downtown Concord burglaries leave question marks

CONCORD — Police are investigating a series of daytime burglaries near the city's downtown area.

Police said the burglaries, which happened between Dec. 3 and Thursday, all happened between the hours of 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. at homes on South Spring, North Spring, Rumford and Lincoln streets. Police said the man, described as white and 20 to 30 years old, may have been going door-to-door in the area offering to shovel snow before the latest incident, which happened about 2:30 p.m. Thursday on Lincoln Street.

A witness reported seeing a man at the back door of a residence, which had been forced open. The man ran away when the witness asked him what he was doing there, police said.

Anyone with information about the burglaries is asked to call the Concord Regional Crimeline at 226-3100.
